Son but était la liberté, sa stratégie la paix et son arme l'humanité. Acteur et metteur en scène britannique, Richard Attenborough projetait depuis une vingtaine d'années de conter à l'écran la vie du Mahatma Gandhi. Mais il refusa obstinément de confier ce rôle exceptionnel à une vedette, ce qui lui eût permis de trouver plus vite le financement du film. Comédien d'origine indienne par son père, anglaise par sa mère, Ben Kingsley est un homme de théâtre, qui a longuement fréquenté le répertoire shakespearien. Sa presation est extraordinaire de vérité dans le rôle de Gandhi, héros de cette fresque puissante, qui nous fait suivre son combat depuis son séjour en Afrique du Sud, au début du siècle, jusqu'à son assassinat à Delhi par un fanatique. Nous voyons se succéder les étapes d'une libération dont l'arme essentielle, à l'instigation de Gandhi, fut la non-violence. Du massacre d'Amritsar en 1919 jusqu'à l'indépendance de l'Inde, concédée à contrecoeur par l'Angeleterre en 1947, en passant par les années sombres de l'internement, c'est l'histoire d'une nation naissante qui s'anime magnifiquement sous nos yeux, avec le concours d'une pléiade de comédiens de grande classe.
